Over the past week, NORAD has detected Russian military aircraft near the Alaskan airspace multiple times, marking the fourth sighting in just five days. The U.S. Coast Guard has also reported encounters with Russian naval vessels in the region. In response to the heightened military activity, the Pentagon has rapidly deployed soldiers, missile systems, and airborne infantry to Alaska, particularly the Aleutian Islands. This response comes amid ongoing tensions exacerbated by Russian and Chinese military exercises in the Arctic. U.S. officials emphasize the need for a strong presence to deter potential threats as they closely monitor developments in the area.
